Is ‘Evangelical’ Synonymous With Hypocrite?
Last month, Pastor Timothy Keller wrote an important article in the New Yorker asking, “Can Evangelicalism Survive Donald Trump and Roy Moore?” And Keller, himself a respected evangelical leader, pulled no punches in answering his question, writing, “‘Evangelical’ used to denote people who claimed the high moral ground; now, in popular usage, the word is nearly synonymous with ‘hypocrite.’ When I used the word to describe myself in the nineteen-seventies, it meant I was not a fundamentalist. If I use the name today, however, it means to hearers that I am.”

Sure, but some of us are just more hypocritical than others. Take MORmONs and Evangelicals for instance.

It's true that we are all hypocritical, however Christianity is a philosophy and for some the actual word of God. That Christianity is hypocritical is the problem. Christianity empowers bigots, haters, and abusers yet claims to be a gospel of love. The message of Christianity is - we teach love and if you love our gospel we love you but if you don't you're DEAD. Either we'll be justified in killing you or our God will. Hypocritical!!!!!!!!!!!!
